AP PHOTOThe grandson of Frank Sinatra has reportedly tried to commit suicide after a romantic entanglement a relative compared to his grandfather's relationship with Ava Gardner, pictured here.

Frank Sinatra's grandson has been hospitalized in Los Angeles after taking too many pills in what a source close to the family has described as a suicide attempt, TMZ.com reports.

The man, 32, is said to be Frank Sinatra Jr.'s son, also named Frank, although he goes by the name of Michael. (According to a 2006 Washington Post profile of Junior, Mike attended the University of California at Santa Barbara and doesn't sing, "thank heavens.")

The man was conscious when paramedics arrived. A reporter from People spoke to a woman in Sinatra’s hospital room who identified herself as “Aunt Dorothy.” She wouldn’t confim the suicide attempt but said, “Let’s just say it’s very similar to what his grandfather went through with Ava Gardner. He’s been having a very tough time. He’s doing better now. We think he’ll pull through.”
